Wow, I'm really loving the art style! is each bit of the ground hand drawn or is it based with the bitmaps overlayed on it?
First attempt on drawing my platform concept for my current flash project.
Hopefully looks better when I've done some finishing touches later xD

thanks. in that case, it was custom art for the area. other areas are more centered around generic tiles, like these.
My technique is to combine a basic tileset with individual graphic bits I place on top in the visual editor to help dress it up, because I kept finding I'm kinda bad at doing efficient tilesets and often end up with ugly bits to smooth over. I'm pretty new to this, at least, relatively speaking.
Nice! These games all look awesome! :D

My game is finally looking a bit pretty :D
yes. that's all the data I have.
Here's what I'm working on with shadowgrail:
You can also play/test an early version of the game here To actually start playing, press the blue button near the bottom left.
EDIT: Also over 15,000 views on this thread, if only I actually had a link to my website/game on my first post >_>
Nice, Danny. It looks like it's coming good. Is it inspired by Zombocalypse? This could be a lot better because you can move up and down too. Just not sure how well it will work with shooting. By the way, the gun needs to recoil, and the blood animation is really good.
And Danny, you can still edit your first post if you want.
Level shadows and an in-game menu added!
The shadows don't look terribly like shadows (unless moving around helps you identify them). Maybe make them closer, a bit darker and blurred perhaps.
Yeah, moving around causes the illusion.
I recently completed my 3d level editor (for multiple projects). It produces objects and cubic voxels. It attaches things to the sides of those objects and voxels. It colors things freely. It outputs game data, instead of 3d models. It is almost completely controllable by click & drag mouse operations, and in every case, it knows exactly what the mouse is supposed to be pointing at (I like predictability in my software – it means I don't have to be an "expert" with the tool to use it efficiently).
That's pretty cool, do the textures connect automatically?
Yes, though the automated texturing is maintained by my voxel engine, so none of the texture information is left in the output data (aside from a simple code which differentiates the different types of voxels present). My general assumption is that anyone using my editor will also use my voxel engine, with a configuration comparable to that of the editor.
Incidentally, my tools where developed with consideration toward a possible Game Creation System, of the old sort of design (which is why there are strange, somewhat superfluous-looking interface buttons in the upper-left corner). For the time being (and to avoid getting completely bogged down with early complexities), I have only implemented what I need for an actual game.
Revisiting miniPassage for some mobile action. I'm not sure if I should add controls to move the player left and right or if I should stick with just a jump button. Opinions?
I personally prefer just the jump button if its on a mobile platform. Arrow keys on mobiles often leads to miscontrolled actions, at least for me anyway. And that would be bad especially for a game like this that requires precise and slick movements.
Yeah, I'd leave it the way it is.
Getting close to releasing it now :)
Hahahah. Oops. That is a nasty spike right there. 300ms decoding images. Another 300 trying to render them.
EDIT 8000th post.

You know it.
I finally got around to adding a proper preloader :D
To me, the "PLAY PLAY PLAY" thing sounds like a screaming advertisement. I dislike it. Maybe it goes with the game, I don't know.
"PLAY PLAY PLAY!" should flash different colors and have an entourage of animated arrows pointing at it. Don't halfass your product!
That's a pretty good idea :)

The Supremes and the Single Girl
Mary L. Dudziak
Since when is marriage a job requirement? It hasn't been on the United States Supreme Court, but this hasn't kept some commentators from speculating about the single status of the Court's latest nominee, Elena Kagan. On Airtalk today on NPR, Larry Mantle went so far as to ask Mark Tushnet: "On the personal side did you have any sense of whether she was in a relationship, or dated?" For Mantle it seemed relevant to know "what kind of a personal life a nominee for the Supreme Court has been living." Andrew Sullivan also feels a need to know about Kagan's personal life. "Did Obama even ask about it? Are we ever going to know one way or the other?"What kind of work she does, what kind of citizen of her community she may be, what her values are. I'm fine on all of that. But I think Larry Mantle, Andrew Sullivan, and the rest of the press have no business in Elena Kagan's bedroom.The marital status of nominees for the Court has been noted before, when, for example, David Souter (unmarried), and Sonia Sotomayor (divorced), were nominated. But the matter largely ended with the biography, and members of the press did not search for relationship details, in a way that seems more fitting for the tabloids.Being an unmarried Justice is not, it turns out, all that unusual. A look at the history of Supreme Court appointments reveals that a number of Justices in the 20th century did not make it down the aisle. They were largely what we used to call "bachelors."William Henry Moody, who served on the Court from 1906-1910, may have been the Court's first bachelor, but several followed. John H. Clarke (1916-1922) is said to have "died still a bachelor" in 1945. Benjamin Cardozo (1932-1938), one of the Court's leading figures, never married. He was very close to his older sister, with whom he lived until her death. From biographical notes, I wonder whether James Clark McReynolds (1914-1941) was simply too mean to have a life partner. "Tall, broad-shouldered, and possessing immaculate habits of bachelorhood, he was formidable when angered and very often intolerably rude." When female lawyers argued cases in the Supreme Court, McReynolds would often leave the room. Justice Frank Murphy (1940-1949), in contrast, had many female admirers, and never married, but was engaged late in life. On the other end of the scale, Justice William O. Douglas (1939-1975) was married four times.In recent years, of course, two out of the last seven new justices were unmarried, a higher percentage than in previous years, but in keeping with national trends. The percentage of Americans living alone has increased significantly in recent years. According to 2009 census data, 62.2% of all Americans age 50 (Kagan's age) and older are married and living with a spouse, and the number is lower for women: 54.5%. The percentage of never married women age 50 and over is low, however: 6.4%.And then there's the law world. "Practicing law...seems to force women to choose between working and having a family," the Boston Globe reported in 2007, drawing upon an MIT study of the legal profession. "Senior male lawyers are more likely than their female peers to be married or living with partners (99 percent vs. 84 percent, respectively) or to have children (80 percent vs. 68 percent)." The pressures are higher at the top. The Boston Bar Association argued in 1999: "We are in danger of seeing law firms evolve into institutions where only those who have no family responsibilities -- or, worse, are willing to abandon those responsibilities -- can thrive."In this environment, it is not surprising that a leading legal figure, the U.S. Solicitor General and former Dean of one of the nation's leading law schools, is consistent with this demographic: a highly successful single woman. We might all hope for the day when success at the highest levels of the profession is more of a reality for women with families and children. But in the meantime, let's lighten up on Elena. And let's focus on her ideas and accomplishments, and not on the unsurprising idea of a single Supreme Court nominee. Posted 11:40 PM by Mary L. Dudziak [link]

Tropical Islands Resort is a tropical theme park located in the former Brand-Briesen Airfield in Krausnick, in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in Brandenburg, Germany, 50 kilometres from the southern boundary of Berlin.[1] It is housed in the former CargoLifter airship hangar (known as the Aerium), the biggest free-standing hall in the world. The hall belonged to the company CargoLifter until its insolvency in 2002.
Tropical Islands has a maximum capacity of 6,000 visitors a day. In its first year of operation it attracted 975,000 visitors, according to figures published by the operators. The annual report of the Tanjong company states that the hall had 155,000 visitors in the business year February 2004 to February 2005, in other words mainly prior to the opening of the theme park. Approximately 500 people work at Tropical Islands.
Tropical Islands is located approximately 60 kilometres south of the centre of Berlin and 50 kilometres from the southern boundary of the city. It is close to Briesen/Brand in the south of the municipality of Halbe. The theme park is on the site of the former Soviet airfield Brand, in the Aerium hangar, at just under 70 metres above sea level.
Tropical Islands can be reached by taking the A13 motorway, leaving at the Staakow exit and following the L711 past Brand and in a north-easterly direction towards Krausnick. Tropical Islands can also be reached by train. The closest railway station is Brand, which is on the Berlin-Görlitz line.
In 1938, Germany began development of Brand-Briesen Airfield for the Luftwaffe. The Red Army overran the site in May 1945, and occupied the site after World War II, adding a second runway and nuclear-resistant command and control facilities for the installed fighter aircraft regiment.
With the reunification of East Germany in 1989/1990, the Soviet Army agreed to return all military bases by 1994. Returned to the Federal Government of Germany in 1992, Cargolifter AG bought the former military airfield to construct airships. They began development of a new construction hall, 360 metres long, 210 metres wide and 107 metres high, which cost €78 million. At 5.5 million m³ (194 million ft³), it stands as one of the largest buildings on Earth by volume, and is the world's largest single hall without supporting pillars inside. The hangar was commissioned as an airship hangar named Aerium in November 2000, but the airship it was intended to house – the CL160 – was never built. CargoLifter went bankrupt in mid-2002.
Tropical Islands was built by the Malaysian corporation Tanjong in the former airship hangar known as the Aerium. The hangar – the largest free-standing hall in the world – was originally designed to protect large airships from the elements. It was purchased by Tanjong on 11 June 2003 for €17.5 million, of which €10 million was a subsidy from the federal state of Brandenburg. The building permit for constructing the theme park inside the hall was granted on 2 February 2004 and Tropical Islands officially opened its doors on 19 December 2004.
Inside the hall, the air temperature is 26 °C (78°F) and air humidity is around 64%. Tropical Islands is home to the biggest indoor rainforest in the world, a beach, many tropical plants and a number of swimming pools, bars and restaurants. It is open around the clock, every day of the year.
On entering the hall, visitors choose between different basic admission options with different prices. Inside the hall, payments are made using an electronic chip wristband. Tropical Islands is divided into two main areas, each with its own admission price: the Tropical Sauna & Spa complex, and the Tropical World. Visitors can move from one area to the other by paying an additional daily charge. Additional charges also apply for areas such as the water slide tower, crazy golf course, African Jungle Lift, evening show and internal accommodation area. The entertainment programme comprises a gala evening show, smaller shows during the day (variety acts, kids' entertainment) and various events.
Themed areas[edit]
Tropical Islands has a number of different themed areas:
- The Tropical Village, featuring accurate copies of traditional buildings from Thailand, Borneo, Samoa and Bali.
- The Rainforest, with around 50,000 plants and 600 different species, including some rare plants.
- The Tropical Sea, a 140 metres (460 ft) pool with an area of 4,400 square metres (47,000 sq ft) and a depth of 1.35 metres (4 ft 5 in) designed to look like the waters of a coral island, a 200 metres (660 ft) sandy beach and 850 wooden sun-loungers; water temperature 28 °C (82 °F).
- The Bali Lagoon, with an area of 1,200 square metres (13,000 sq ft) and a depth of less than 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) in places, fountains, a current canal, whirlpools and two water slides; water temperature 32 °C (90 °F).
Further development[edit]
November and December 2006 saw the creation of a 4,000 m2 children's play area at Tropical Islands. In mid-2007, a sauna and spa facility with six separate areas was added, the largest tropical sauna complex in Europe. The sauna area features a crystal steam bath, stone sauna, tree sauna, herbal sweat lodge, ice fountain, misty grotto, whirlpools and vitality showers. The design of the saunas is inspired by UNESCO World Heritage Sites in South-East Asia, including a cave temple on Elephanta Island in India and the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia.
The bathing area at Tropical Islands includes a 27-metre high water slide tower with four slides, a children's play area and a crazy golf course. The changing rooms have almost 7,000 lockers.
According to figures published by the company, Tropical Islands has spent EUR 23 million on further development and expansion work. The original total investment sum announced was EUR 75 million, including a EUR 17 million subsidy from the federal state of Brandenburg. The purpose of the subsidy for the development work was to preserve the 501 jobs at Tropical Islands.
In 2008 a campsite was added close to the Tropical Islands hall. The campsite has special pitches for caravans and mobile homes, its own wooden and canvas tepees available for hire, and a field for tents. Accommodation has also been built inside the dome, including numerous lodges and guest rooms that form an integral part of the tropical landscape. There are also two "Rainforest Camps" inside the dome with tents that visitors can stay in. In 2010 a number of holiday homes were built close to the hall, which are also available for rent. The various accommodation options make it possible to spend several days at Tropical Islands.
Visitor numbers remain behind original estimates. For a cost-effective operation, 1.25 million visitors per year are required. In 2005, the resort lost between 10 and 20 million euros. By October 2006 there were about 600,000 visitors. The initial lack of visitors has been attributed to various reasons, including the relatively remote location of Tropical Islands. In addition, in Berlin, South Brandenburg, the direct surrounding area of the resort, the disposable income is below the national average. The target demographic of the resort was extended to attract visitors from further away, including Poland.
By altering the ticket price structure and adding new overnight accommodations, visitors attendance has been improved. According to the then managing director Ole Bested Hensing, 2008 was the first time Tropical Islands Resort made a profit. This is a direct consequence of the increased accommodation capacity. It recorded 300,000 overnight stays.[2]
At the start there were problems with the plants that were under the light-tight dome. In October 2005, the entire southern front along the "South Sea" bathing area had a special UV-transparent film made of ETFE installed. This 20,000 square meter "window" allows daylight. The palms, trees and bushes have grown well since.

Economic Impact Analysis - Specific Issues - Income Distribution
Daniels, M. J. 2004. "Estimating Income Effects of a Sport Tourism Event."
Annals of Tourism Research 31(1):180-199. This paper compared the use of the IMPLAN Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) to
three occupation-based models. The study results suggest that using an IMPLAN
SAM to estimate income effects for different households for a sport tourism
event may be innapropriate as it is biased to higher income brackets. Instead
a modified model that used averaged full-time equivalent wages shows more
promise in estimating the true income effects. This particular model
demonstrated that for sport tourism, occupations with full-time equivalent
salaries that range between $15,000 to $40,000 are most likely to impacted.
This study is likely a starting point for using occupational data as an
alternative means of demonstrating the income effects of events. Leatherman, J. C. and D. W. Marcouiller. 1996. "Persistent Poverty and
Natural Resource Dependence: Rural Development Policy Analysis That Incorporates
Income Distribution." Journal of Regional Analysis and Policy 26(2):73-93. This paper discussed prospects for rural economic development and the use
of social accounting matrix analysis to identify the distributional
characteristics of local markets and development programs in natural
resource-dependent regions. A SAM was used to examine the distributional
characteristics associated with local economic development policies targeting
agricultural production, agricultural processing, forestry production,
forestry processing, and tourism for a small rural region in Wisconsin. The
analysis also investigated the distributional impacts associated with
simultaneous and variable change between economic sectors, and the impediments
to development that dependence on a disproportionately large economic sector
presents. The results suggested that the distributional impacts vary by
sector. SAM analysis was a means whereby local development policies can
incorporate information important to addressing questions of lagging rural
income growth. Marcouiller, D. W. and J. C. Stier. 1996. Forest Management Alternatives
and Income Distribution in the Lake States. Staff Paper Series # 48.
Madison, WI: Department of Forestry, University of Wisconsin-Madison. This staff paper lays the conceptual framework for assessing income
distribution and public goods production resulting from alternative forest
management regimes, ecosystem-based management vs intensive production, in 101
counties of Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The study region is
delineated by forest type and represents the forested region of the Lake
States. A social accounting matrix with extensions to computable general
equilibrium analysis is presented as an approach which allows estimation of
income distribution and general equilibrium impacts. Marcouiller, D. W., D. F. Schreiner and D. K. Lewis. 1993. "Constructing a
Social Accounting Matrix to Address Distributive Economics Impacts of Forest
Management." Regional Science Perspectives 23(2):60-90. This paper documents the use of a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) to analyze
the distributional impacts brought on by a changes in natural resource use
patterns. In particular the shift to more intensive modes of forest production
are analyzed for McCurtain County in southeastern Oklahoma. A hybrid IMPLAN
model is developed to construct a SAM with the basic operative unit of the
household. In this particular study, medium and high income households are
most impacted by timber production while low income households by wood
processing. This study provides a detailed account of how to construct a SAM.

Wisconsin: Moving Beyond Aggregate Estimates and Conventional Wisdom.
Madison, WI: University of Wisconsin-Extension, Department of Urban & Regional
Planning University of Wisconsin-Madison. This study looks at the employment and wages characteristics of the travel
and tourism industry in the State of Wisconsin in 2001-02. Focus groups are
also used to contextualize the results of the quantitative analysis and
provide input on such aspects as the business climate, seasonality, labor
markets and the impact of public policy. Statewide the travel and tourism
industry generated almost 320,000 total jobs or 12% of all wage and salary
jobs. The average annual wage and salary income generated by travel and
tourism industry jobs was almost $13,000 compared to $27,000 for "all
industries". Roughly three-quarters of the wages and salary are generated in
25 urban and suburban communities, while as a percentage of all economic
activity, travel and tourism make up a substantially larger portion (25-30%)
of income and jobs for rural Wisconsin. Tourism firm owners and operators were
optimistic about the quality of career ladder opportunities in the industry
and emphasizes the quality-of-life associated with owning a small business and
living in high amenity areas. Leatherman, J. C. and D. W. Marcouiller. 1996. "Income Distribution
Characteristics of Rural Economic Sectors: Implications for Local Development
Policy." Growth and Change 27(4):434-459. Recent trends suggest increasing reliance on private markets to provide for
local economic well-being. This paper demonstrates the study of regional
household income distribution patterns associated with productive activities
important to many rural areas. A social accounting matrix analysis was used to
examine agricultural production, agricultural processing, forestry production,
forest products processing, and tourism in a small rural region in
Southwestern Wisconsin to illustrate the variable distributional
characteristics of private market structures and related local economic
development policy. The ability of local policy to influence distributional
patterns is implied to the extent that local action can facilitate variable
growth rates of targeted economic sectors.

This report looks at the distribution of Montana tourism jobs by sector major sector, the seasonality of tourism jobs in certain sectors, the part-time nature of tourism jobs and the average tourism wage of employees.
Lee, C.-K. and S. Kang. 1998. "Measuring Earning Inequality and Median Earnings in the Tourism Industry." Tourism Management 19(4):341-348.
The purpose of this paper is two-fold: to measure the degree of earnings inequality in tourism employees in South Korea, using the Gini coefficient and the Lorenz curve; and to examine the level of earnings based on median earnings. The results show that tourism generates a moderately equal distribution of earnings. In general, tourism performs better than secondary and tertiary industries, but worse than primary industry. Tourism is more likely to improve the living standards for the lower income class than secondary and tertiary industries. The analysis of median earnings, however, indicates that tourism is a low-wage industry. The labor-intensive nature of the tourism industry absorbing many unskilled and semi-skilled workers might be attributed to its low wage structure. Interestingly, tourism was found to be advantageous to female workers in terms of earnings inequality and the level of earnings.
Christensen, N. A. and N. P. Nickerson. 1995. Job & Wages: The Tourism Industry Dilemma. Research Note 22. Missoula, MT: Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research, University of Montana. Web Link.
This report examines wages in the tourism sector in Montana in 1993. It finds that the sector is dominated by service sector jobs with average wage of $7.56, which is 78% of all nonagricultural hourly wages. However, these are yearly wages and the sector is dominated by part-time jobs which drags down the average. The report goes on to discuss the range of different jobs, in a range of wage classes, that exist in the tourism industry.

Excommunication looms for Spanish priest involved in abortion
Catholic World News - March 16, 2011
A Spanish priest who says that he paid for abortions faces disciplinary action from the Barcelona archdiocese.
Father Manuel Pousa wrote, in a book released late in February, that he had provided payment for abortions. He also wrote of his support for the ordination of women, and revealed that he had "blessed" same-sex unions.
Cardinal Luis Martinez Sistach has called in Father Pousa for a meeting. The Barcelona archdiocese issued a statement noting the importance of "verifying the true facts," as a prelude to any disciplinary action. However, the archdiocesan statement also noted that the ordinary canonical punishment for direct involvement in abortion is automatic excommunication.

But the church's bishops voted against the move by 21 votes to 19, meaning that the motion failed, because it needed to be passed by all three groups.

Back to Academics
The Chicago Semester is an off-campus program sponsored by Trinity Christian College together with five other Christian colleges in the Midwest and administered by Trinity. It offers qualified juniors and seniors (2.5 or higher GPA required) the opportunity to gain a semester's worth of credit, living and working in Chicago. Program design focuses on leadership training by challenging undergraduate juniors and seniors to integrate their classroom theory with professional work experience. Features of the Chicago Semester curriculum include the following: (1) a complete orientation process that familiarizes each student with the Chicago Semester program, the city of Chicago, and the world of work; (2) internships related to students' professional interests; (3) seminars on aspects of the urban phenomenon; and (4) extensive cultural exposure through scheduled fine arts activities. Students spend four days a week in an internship related to their career interest and academic major, and participate in seminars one day per week at the Chicago Semester's Loop Center (11 E. Adams). A student may obtain admission to the program only by special application to Chicago Semester. See the Chicago Semester campus representative for further details.
Note: a pre-application must be filled out at least one year before participating in Chicago Semester. Please see the Cooper Center for the pre-application.
301 Fine Arts Seminar (Arts In the City) The seminar investigates urban cultural life as reflected in the arts of Chicago. Students gather data for exploration by attending plays, concerts, movies, and art galleries. This primary information is processed through readings, lectures, and classroom discussion. The seminar operates on the premise that art mirrors the ideas and values held by a particular society or civilization and that students can be helped to read this cultural mirror more effectively. Credit Hours: 3 hours
302 Metropolitan Seminar An introduction to the city, focusing primarily on the Chicago metropolitan region. Each semester, the Metropolitan Seminar examines cultural, social, political, and economic issues that face metropolitan residents. Sectional emphases of the Metropolitan Seminar focus on globalization and diversity, health, and social policy and planning and community development. Credit Hours: 3 hours
303 Values and Vocations Seminar Students examine the Christian call to social transformation in contemporary urban America. The course emphasizes reclaiming a Christian concept of vocation as a way of integrating the meaning of one's private and public life, and as a framework for practicing love and justice. The Values and Vocations Seminar's two sections are "American Work and Meaning" and "Character, Personality, and Power." Credit Hours: 3 hours
304 History of Religion and Society in Urban America This course examines religious social engagement in America through the lens of history, beginning in the colonial era and racing to the present. To manage this long span of time, the class focuses on the city, a battleground for pressing social questions. Topics of discussion will include religious responses to the market economy, race relations, gender roles, and the relationship between church and state. The class is designed for juniors and seniors. Credit Hours: 3 hours
400 Field Internship Students enrolled in the Chicago Semester program have a large number of placements available to them. Students may select internships from a range of organizations that include art centers, banks, businesses, hospitals, media centers, newspapers, publishing houses, mental health clinics, churches, schools, social work agencies, museums, libraries, and zoos. Work internships demand high-quality work and are supervised on the job and also by Chicago Semester staff members. Credit Hours: 9 hours
401 Social Work Professional Seminar This seminar provides students with the opportunity to apply classroom learning in actual social work practice situations. The seminar aims at promoting a "coming together" of theoretical perspectives and practicum supervision in a manner supportive to the efforts of beginning practitioners. Students engage in professional social work roles and activities to continue developing generalist practice skills and knowledge of the profession. Credit Hours: 3 hours
450 Student-Teaching:Elementary Students enrolled in the Chicago Semester program are placed in a Chicago public school for a 17-week placement During the student teaching internship the intern gradually assumes the full responsibilities of the cooperating teacher. Student teaching requires fulltime commitment for the entire semester. Concurrent enrollment in CSEM 454. Credit Hours: 10 hours
454 Contemporary Issues Seminar This course meets weekly during the semester of student-teaching. Discussion topics include contemporary issues, worldview implications for teaching, interviewing, classroom management, and preparation for a teaching position. The unique attributes, assets, and challenges of a specific Chicago neighborhood are also investigated. Online portfolios will be completed. Credit Hours: 3 hours
455 Student-Teaching:Secondary Students enrolled in the Chicago Semester program are placed in a Chicago public school for a 17-week placement. During the student teaching internship the intern gradually assumes the full responsibilities of the cooperating teacher/s. Student teaching requires fulltime commitment for the entire semester.

Child actress Kim Yoo Jung selects Big Bang's T.O.P over Kim Soo Hyun, Yeo Jin Goo, and more as her ideal type
Child actress Kim Yoo Jung has selected Big Bang's T.O.P as her ideal type.
During an interview segment on the December 16th installment of MBC's 'Section TV', the actress was asked to select her ideal type among actors she hase worked with including Yeo Jin Goo, Lee Min Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, Big Bang's T.O.P, and Park Gun Tae.
After much deliberation, Kim Yoo Jung ended up selecting T.O.P, whom she worked with in the film 'Alumni', as her #1 ideal type. Following the Big Bang member, the actress placed Kim Soo Hyun in second, Lee Min Ho in third, Park Gun Tae in fourth, and Yeo Jin Goo in fifth.
When asked to explain why she selected T.O.P as her ideal type, Kim Yoo Jung bashfully confessed, "I'm just too much of a fan, so there's nothing I can do about it."
Viewers responded to her selection as they left comments like, "I didn't know she was a fan of T.O.P", "She has grown up a lot. She's a lady now", "They look good together", and more.

If you're an Amazon LOVEFiLM member and you can't get enough of 'Ratatouille' or 'Lady and the Tramp', you may be in luck as the online streaming service is now offering a range of Disney movies to watch on demand.
Announced on Monday, the arrival of 'Disney Movies on Demand' on LOVEFiLM Instant promises to bring a wealth of Disney's own unique entertainment and a raft of classic titles directly to your computer or TV at no extra cost.
"Disney is renowned for creating world famous, quality family entertainment that parents can trust; from the earliest animations to modern classics. We are thrilled to enhance our relationship with the launch of Disney Movies on Demand, and even more excited about bringing our members so much new content in the process," Simon Morris, chief marketing officer at LOVEFiLM, said.
Alongside classics like the champagne-swigging, flying elephant 'Dumbo' or 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' you'll also find more contemporary (and in some cases award-winning) offerings such as 'Wall-E' and 'Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian'.
Subscriptions for LOVEFiLM's Instant service start from £4.99 for online viewing only.
The push to broaden its catalog, and therefore its appeal, comes as it attempts to take on Netflix's streaming service in the UK.
In a move that echoes Netflix's original programming of series like' Boardwalk Empire' and 'Arrested Development: Season 4′, Amazon too has announced that five original series will be made for its Prime Instant Video service in the US. There's no word on when these might make it across to the LOVEFiLM service that operates in the UK and Europe, though.

Making Artisan Cheese, a Couple Preserves a Way of Life
John and Nancy Mims never imagined they would be running a dairy when they met at the University of Florida and married 40-some years ago. He was going to be an architect and a pilot, and she was going to be a nurse.
They were going to move to the Caribbean. But then John was drafted. After a six-year stint in the Navy, Nancy's father died, and they went home to help her mother on the dairy where Nancy grew up. They ended up buying the dairy in 1980.
It is a lifestyle the two have grown to love and they have worked with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service to protect their way of life. Read more »

My husband and I got married in the fall because we love the color. For our first anniversary we toured the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and stayed in Breckenridge. When I saw this gorgeous color way by Noro Yarns I immediately thought about the gorgeous shades of brown that were painted by God on the landscape of the Colorado Mountains.
The greatest thing about this pattern is that you can use any size yarn and any size hook and you can make it as small as you want it or as large as you want it. It's a great stashbuster pattern and perfect for everybody.

Gorgeous, elegant scent.....a rich lady on the first day of a long vacation. The scent of optimism, confidence and perfection. So underrated. Probably not for work, though, as it is a little too unique and not everyone will rejoice in your good fortune. I will always have this in my wardrobe.

This is an exquisite fragrance for the woman who doesn't want her scent to overpower.
This is one of Dior's best, and so underrated, I have owned it for many years and never tire of it. It's harder to find these days but it's worth the search.
It is a nice wearable scent of warm vanilla/amber. It's classy, rich, elegant and bold. I absolutely love it. Every time I wear it it puts me in a good mood...confident and sexy. Delicious.
The beautiful bottle is designed by Serge Mansau, the renowned French designer.
Hope they never stop making it!

In the first few seconds this smelled like the distinctive and bombastic Keno Jungle to me. However, after a few minutes Dolce Vita devolved into a sweet and uninteresting fruity/woody/floral. Not bad, but not compelling. It's smooth, sugary, and sunny but so are a million other fragrances.

I got a mini set of Dior perfumes and Dolce Vita was the first one I wore. I really loved it. In no way overbearing, but a luscious woody, floral, semi-sweet dry down. The dry down reminded me of another perfume ... Burberry classic in the round bottle, creamy, buttery, woody, but Dolce Vita is 1000+ better. I can't really stand the Burberry one, yet DV manages to convert me.

I absolutely adore this fragrance and so does my boyfriend, who says it's the most feminine scent he has smelled. I smile every time i wear this, and it takes me back to my twenties when i smelled a sample in a magazine, it was a warm Summers night, and the smell just blended so well with the sun setting and it instantly made me feel happy and girly, but in a very womanly way, I will always have a bottle of this, its my favorite perfume of all time.

euh....how can I say this?? Only THE best smell EVER?!?!? Feminine yet strong. Starts smelling like bubble gum but then quickly transforms into the most sensual, woody smell ever.

am i the only one that feels this stuff smells like an amazing spiced bubblegum? its going to sound crazy but the first moment i sniffed this after spraying, the scent made me giggle. it was like an involuntary giggle. thats how amazing this little gem is. When I first smelled this, the type of woman i imagined wearing this is a woman like ann margret( a little less cutesy) or a less serious looking sophia loren. or diana dors. maybe even a marilyn monroe type, with the personality of kate hudson(in her movies). a sexy woman with an infectious laugh. she has a firm feminine voice. shes social, but she prefers to be alone most of the time. she seems to be in her own little world. she wears expensive clothing (or atleast she makes it look expensive). shes sassy. shes in touch with her feminine side without being girly. she has an expensive taste.. she's a strong and a very independent woman. and men are irresistibly attracted to her because she stands out in a sort of regal way. shes classy, and has a " "sunny" bright quality about her..for those into astrology, this is what women with heavy leo/libra/venus/ in their charts would wear..i cannot imagine anyone under 25 wearing this(only very few). and i cannot imagine someone who adores fruity girly perfumes to like this one either. this is a very womanly and feminine scent. i can almost guarantee that if you are a woman all about the color pink, and butterflies and pink sugar etc (basically a girly girl), you probably wont like this or find it hard to wear .this perfume makes me think of the color gold for some reason.and expensive sparkly jewelry..sparkly golden champagnes, wines, and all other things fancy come to mind. the woman modeling this on the perfume ad is perfect for this scent and she is wearing exactly the type of outfit that IMO, goes with this perfume. this perfume is somewhat of a contradiction as well though. its a soft but deep scent. its not sharp at all but it has this sunshine bubbly thing going on. its not gourmand but it has a sweetish spice . its not fruity but i def get whiffs of peach and apricots here and there. its just a sensual, deep, exotic, fancy,feminine perfume. i HATE that this has been discontinued. i cannot find this anywhere. every single time i fall madly in love with a fragrance i end up finding out that its discontinued.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Olive, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I can't even be objective about this product - when I'm wearing this all I want to do is smell myself. HG. The end.

My wife is good at pleasuring me in bed, I'm happy to say. Also, she definitely enjoys making love to me. However, she has a behavior which I find very peculiar; I have slept with several women before I met my wife, and none of them did this.
As I'm giving her oral sex and stimulating her clitoris, she eventually pushes me away and tells me it's time for me to come in. When I've questioned her about this, she's said that the feeling is too intense and she doesn't want to feel overwhelmed. Furthermore, it seems to me that she maybe never reaches full orgasm while we're having sex; perhaps she does, but it's not obvious. (Perhaps I need to try and keep it up longer, but I 've never heard a partner complain before.) I suspect that this puzzling behavior is partly connected to her being a victim of rape as a teenager as she was.
A: I think so too. Take her statement that she doesn't want to feel "overwhelmed" as the truth. She doesn't want ever again to feel overpowered and out of control of what is happening to her. It is impressive that she has come so far that she is able to enjoy pleasuring you and to participate as a sexual partner. It's only sad that her victimizer has deprived her of the spontaneous abandon and sexual satisfaction that can come with totally trusting one's partner.
You didn't mention if this has become a difficult issue between you. If it has, I suggest that you be as sympathetic as you know how to be. Tell her that because you love her and are married to her, you are also being affected by the crime. You hurt for her and you get upset that you can't be as close to her sexually as you'd like to be. Ask her if she would be willing to participate in some couples therapy so that the two of you can work together to get the perpetrator finally out of your lives. Don't pressure her. She already has had a profoundly negative experience with pressure. Do offer your love and support and your willingness to respect her pace. If she isn't willing to work on it, enjoy the unselfish way she loves you and give her time. With time, she may be able to relax into your love as well.
I wish you well.

Hamilton is a rural-suburban town in the eastern central portion of Essex County in eastern Massachusetts, United States. At the 2010 census, it had a population of 7,764.[1] Currently the town has no manufacturing industry and no industrially-zoned land.
Its location on the North Shore of Massachusetts provides easy access to the Atlantic seashore with its reservations, beaches and boating. The town includes many historic houses, pastoral landscapes, and old stone walls that accompany winding tree-lined roads. It also has a rich equestrian heritage, which remains strong due to the influence of the many horse farms and of Myopia Hunt Club, which holds frequent equestrian events, including polo most Sunday afternoons. (Myopia also hosts a Thanksgiving Day fox hunt each year that the public may attend.[2]) Thus, the visitor to Hamilton may well share the secondary roads with horse and pony riders.
Hamilton is closely tied to neighboring Wenham, sharing a school system, state-of-the-art library, recreation department, commuter rail station and newspaper. In 2010, the community of Hamilton-Wenham was listed among the "Best Places to Live" by Boston Magazine.
Hamilton includes South Hamilton, which is that part of Hamilton that the Postal Service has assigned the zip code 01982. "Hamilton" and "South Hamilton" are indistinguishable from each other except for the difference in zip codes.
In June 1638, John Winthrop the Younger, son of the founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, bought most of present-day Essex County from Masconomet, chief of the Agawam Indians, for the sum of twenty English pounds. A memorial stone on Sagamore Hill in southeastern Hamilton marks where Mosconomet was buried with his gun and tomahawk around 1658.
Hamilton was first settled in 1638 and was originally a section of Ipswich known as "The Hamlet". The first recorded land grant in the Hamlet was Matthew Whipple's farm, dated 1638. Three years later the new stagecoach road from Boston to Newburyport (Bay Road) was laid out through the Whipple land. Other early settlers of the Hamlet, including the Appletons, Winthrops, Lamsons, and Dodges, were attracted by countryside similar to the English farms and estates they had left behind.
The town was incorporated on June 21, 1793,[3] and named for Alexander Hamilton, whose portrait became the town seal in 1903. With the arrival of the Boston and Maine Railroad in 1839, the population center moved gradually southward toward the depot.
The farm village proved to be an attractive location for Boston groups seeking land for recreation and renewal. A Methodist ministers' association first held a camp meeting at Asbury Grove in 1859. In the 1880s, the Myopia Hunt Club, which had been named in jest for its nearsighted founders, moved from Winchester, Massachusetts, to the Gibney Farm in Hamilton. Beginning as a lawn tennis and baseball club, it turned to polo, the hunt, and golf as members built large summer estates in the area. Myopia donated the site for the General George S. Patton Memorial Park to the town of Hamilton. The park continues to be a recreation center for the town.
In 1921 the Mandell family built the Community House in memory of the eight men in Hamilton and Wenham who died in military service during World War I, including their son, Sam. They commissioned Guy Lowell, a respected architect of Boston and New York, to design the building, and gave the Community House in trust for the use of the residents of both towns. Although in its early days the Community House offered activities such as bowling and a men's smoking room, it now features a wide range of classes and activities for all ages.[4][5][6]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 14.9 square miles (38.6 km2), of which 14.2 square miles (36.7 km2) is land and 0.73 square miles (1.9 km2), or 4.89%, is water.[7] Hamilton lies 5 miles (8 km) inland from Massachusetts Bay, and both the eastern and western portion of town are bordered by water, with the Ipswich River to the west and Chebacco Lake and several other small ponds to the east. The highest point in town is found on Blueberry Hill in Bradley Palmer State Park, with an elevation of at least 215 feet (66 m), according to the most recent (2011-2012) USGS 7.5-minute topographical map.[8] Several areas of town are protected, including Myopia Hunt Club and parts of Bradley Palmer State Park, Appleton Farm Sanctuary, and the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary.
Hamilton is bordered by Ipswich to the north, Essex to the east, Manchester-by-the-Sea to the southeast, Wenham to the south, and Topsfield to the west. It is located 8 miles (13 km) north of Salem and 23 miles (37 km) northeast of Boston.
- MBTA Commuter Rail provides service from Boston's North Station with the Hamilton/Wenham station on its Newburyport branch of the Newburyport/Rockport Line.
- There are no freeways within town; Route 128 provides the nearest access in Manchester-by-the-Sea. Route 1A passes through the center of town, and Route 22 passes through the eastern corner of town between Wenham and its eastern terminus in Essex.
- The nearest airport is Beverly Municipal Airport, and the nearest national and international air service can be found at Boston's Logan International Airport.

Hamilton is esteemed for the regional school district it shares with neighboring Wenham, and Hamilton is where the majority of the schools in the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District are located. Only Buker Elementary School is located outside the town, in Wenham.
At Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School, students' average SAT scores are above the state average (According to numbers released by the state Dept of Education, Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School ranked 27th in the state based on combined total SAT scores for the 2006/2007 school year), and the school regularly sends top students to Ivy League schools. Boston Magazine's 2010 issue showcasing a list of the best public high schools ranked Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School 12th, placing Hamilton-Wenham's public high school in the top 10 percent of the state overall. Hamilton-Wenham also had one of the highest graduation rates, at 96.8 percent. By 2011, Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School had moved up to number nine in Boston Magazine's "Best Schools" list. More recently, Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School ranked 107th (out of 14,000) on Newsweek's 2014 list of "America's Top High Schools"[20]
According to a September 29, 2010, article in the Hamilton-Wenham Chronicle: "Of the 885 schools in Massachusetts, the Bessie Buker Elementary School ranked second in science on this year's MCAS. The fifth-grade class at the school had 93 percent of its students score advanced and proficient. In addition, all ninth-grade students passed the biology test, with 92 percent scoring advanced and proficient, ranking 20th state-wide. Cutler School scored 21st state-wide with 90 percent of third-graders scoring advanced and proficient in English language arts."[21]
The Pingree School, a private secondary school, is located on the historic Pingree Family Estate in Hamilton.
Hamilton is also home to Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, an interdenominational evangelical theological seminary.
Notable people[edit]
- Bo Burnham, performance artist
- Michael Carter-Williams, point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks
- Chief Masconomet, the last sagamore (chief) of the Agawam tribe of native Americans. The Agawam tribe once numbered in the tens of thousands and controlled the area now occupied by Essex County. By the early 17th century their numbers were reduced to several hundred by European diseases. Masconomet befriended the white settlers and eventually ceded all the tribe's land to the state in exchange for a small sum of money and protection from enemy tribes. Masconomet died a ward of the state, penniless and without land and was buried on Sagamore Hill in Hamilton in 1658.").[22]
- David Morse, raised in Hamilton, graduate of HWRHS (1971)
- Kevin O'Connor, the TV host for This Old House, lives in a renovated 1894 Queen Anne style house in South Hamilton.
- General George S. Patton (1885-1945), known for his exploits in World War II, resided in Hamilton. This is the reason for Patton Park, a park made famous by the installation of an M4 Sherman full-sized World War II tank on which many children and young adults play. At one point, children were able to play inside the tank until the late 1960s when a fire was set inside. After this the hatches were welded shut.
- General George S. Patton IV (1923-2004). In the years after his 1980 retirement from the Army with the rank of Major General, Patton turned a Hamilton estate owned by his late father into the 250 acres (1.0 km2) Green Meadows Farm, where he named the fields in honor of Vietnam soldiers who died under his command.
